Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2022
So when I saw this, I knew I had to have it. I'm about 40 pages in and oh my goodness this is detailed!
So far it's talked about everything from the history of Michael Crichton writing the book, a summary of the novel, how Crichton and Steven Spielberg met, the development and creation of the preproduction team, the different design teams at Tippet Studios, Stan Winston Studios, ILM, designing the locations, logo, puppets, the various scripts that were rejected — it is SO detailed! AND I'M NOT EVEN A QUARTER OF THE WAY THROUGH!!
And then there's inserts like: a car placard like the one in the movie, story boards, sketches and renders of proof of concept art, covers for prop books. All of which can be removed and admired! I'm using the car placard as a book mark, personally.
I had no idea it would be THIS in depth. I expected a brief overview, maybe just a repeat of the stories from the bonus features from the original release and digital re-release, and some storyboard sketches (which, there are a few familiar stories, quotes, and pictures) but there's so much more, too!
If you or someone you know likes the og 3, get 👏 them 👏 this 👏 book 👏
